The Science Fiction Art of Vincent Di Fate

From images in black and white to inventive gadgets, the golden age of SF film, and pictures from the flying saucer era, these paintings capture the range of Hugo Award-winner Vincent Di Fate's achievements. More than 100 color artworks complement a vigorous, vivacious text by the artist himself. Space chases, futuristic supermen, machines born of dreams or nightmares, and more: each illustration is a voyage of the imagination.

Winner of the Hugo Award, the Frank R. Paul Award, and the Skylark Award for Imaginative Fiction, Vincent Di Fate's works are in the permanent collection of the National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian. He was president of the Society of Illustrators and is a professor of sci-fi illustration at New York's prestigious Fashion Institute of Technology.
